After struggling too many years trying to get pregnant, I am now a Mom! I, (we, my wonderful husband!) underwent IVF treatment and was successful the first time. I can't believe how fabulous this has left me feeling, which only highlights how badly I was probably feeling before.

I did not take to the IVF idea at first. But when I turned 30 two years ago, I could see I needed to try something different as it was not happening naturally.

But what does "naturally" mean? My precious baby girl, Melissa, is as natural as it gets.

One comment I'd offer in regard to treatment, is that there appears to be a dividing line between doctors over how many eggs they will use in ivf. the more the better your chances, but also the greater the chances of a mulitple pregnancy.

Another comment on multiple eggs: I read that this likely will be THE issue as fallout from the Octuplets story. Because the more eggs planted, the greater the chances for success, but also of a multiple pregnancy.
